We celebrated our dog, Cupcake’s, eighth birthday over the weekend complete with cupcakes from a dog bakery. She was not that cooperative with the mani photo shoots this year. Maybe she is not thrilled about being in her mid-fifties. It’s a tough jump from forty-nine.
The manicure and nail art are by Olive & June. The color is “Sun Bleached” by CND Vinylux.
Happy Monday!

Finally a bell sleeve I can wear! I love the easy elegance of this striped top with the longer sleeves. The shorter bell sleeve makes me look like a linebacker. This one also comes in a narrower blue and white stripe, but I decided I needed a little pop of pink for Spring.
I styled the top with the J. Crew Slim Broken-In Boyfriend Jean in white, J. Crew Piper Sunglasses, my favorite Legend of Lido Clutch and a Springy pair of flats from last year (I linked a similar style).

My son calls this my rainbow shirt. There has been a lot of talk of rainbows in my house with St. Patrick’s Day coming up. My son is hard at work on his Leprechaun trap and we are really hoping for some gold.
I went all in on my rainbow look with a matching striped pouch. I added a touch of gold for good luck with my New Balance kicks in salt and gold. I completed the casual look with my new favorite Lookout Jeans and Piper Sunglasses in Ocean Blue.

My son can’t stop singing “City of Stars” after watching the Oscars, so I have stars on the brain. These star print jeans from J. Crew are a great way to add a little dimension to a neutral look. Just like my other J. Crew Western Chambray shirt (that is on sale), my new one in Vintage Indigo is already on heavy rotation. It has the perfect amount of stretch and I love the snaps. I completed the look with backless loafers (J. Crew Charlie Slides), J. Crew Piper sunglasses, a Legends of Lido Clutch and an Hermes scarf.

The stars were all out last night. Our family Oscar viewing party included a fort in the family room, and Postmates delivery of Bareburger (yum!). If you have not tried Postmates, it is amazing and with code ryi1k your first delivery is free.
We had a ballot contest. My son is seven and it was his first time participating. The only movie on the ballot he had seen was Zooptopia. He was asleep before it was over and he missed being the winner for a few minutes and then coming in second. He had picked “La La Land” for just about everything. Sadly, I came in last. At least I have stars on my nails to get me through the week.
The colors are Chanel Velvet Nail Colour in “Pink Rubber”, Chanel Long Wear Nail Colour in “Ballerina”, and Chanel Long Wear Nail Colour in “Camelia”. The manicure and nail art are by Olive & June.

Just when I think I have my fill of t-shirts, J. Crew launches a new batch of destination art t-shirts. How could I resist the California t-shirt? California is home. I have lived in California the longest, despite two stints on the East Coast and one in Chicago. My New York City born and bred husband is not leaving California anytime soon.
I styled my golden state t-shirt with a gold pouch and gold and salt kicks. I rounded things out with a navy blazer and Piper sunglasses in Ocean Blue – all from J. Crew.
For other Destination Art t-shirts looks take a look at these posts: Beautiful Waste of Time, Dreaming of Paris, London Calling, New York State of Mind, Sliding Doors, I’ll take Paris and the Vineyard, and New York on the Vineyard.

My love of denim and chambray is no secret. I have lost count of the number of times I have worn my J. Crew Western Chambray shirt that I bought two years ago (and it still looks great). J. Crew just came out with a new Western Chambray Shirt with snaps in a vintage indigo wash and I knew immediately it was a must have. I also picked up another pair of Lookout high rise jeans. I doubled down on denim for lunch with my mom at Flower Child in Del Mar. I love the bright decor and the menu options make it easy for me to stick to my new regime.
I styled my new denim pieces with fringe boots by Maison de Talons, J. Crew Jane sunglasses, a J. Crew monogrammed pouch and a J. Crew bandana in a Drake’s print.
Here are three more looks with my other Western Chambray Shirt (which is on sale!) : Denim on Denim, Falling into Neutral, and Beam Me Up.

I could not resist this J.Crew iteration of the always-in-style, classic trench coat made au courant with the stripes and gorgeous lining. I styled it with white cropped jeans, a navy gingham shirt, my new backless tassel loafers and my new piper sunglasses – all by J. Crew.

I try to stay positive except when it comes to nail art. This week I wanted something understated. I went with navy and diagonal negative space on two nails.
The color is “Mariniere” by Chanel. The manicure and nail art are by Olive & June.

My husband and son surprised me with roses and cards a few days before Valentine’s Day. This is a busy time of year for us. Nine years ago we got engaged two days after Valentine’s Day. We brought our son home from the hospital on Valentine’s Day seven years ago.
We were busy with my son’s birthday celebrations which included The Lego Batman Movie and a party for his friends that I wrote about here. It was nice to have the roses over the weekend and they inspired my pink shoes that work so nicely with my new Liberty Print shirt from J. Crew. My love of Liberty prints rivals my love of stripes and leopard print. I have featured several other Liberty prints in May Liberty Flowers, Santa Barbara Mother’s Day, Liberty and Lavender, Fiddlehead Farm, Stripes and Liberty, and Paisley Liberty
